Strasenburgh Planetarium

Since RMSC’s Strasenburgh Planetarium first opened its doors in 1968, generations of Rochesterians have explored the wonders of the universe under its dome—and exciting changes are on the horizon as we look forward to the next 50 years!

School Scholarships

Thanks to generous contributions from anonymous donors, the Rochester Museum & Science Center has limited scholarship opportunities available to fund educational experiences. Qualifiying experiences include a visit to the RMSC campus and Cumming Nature Center or an RMSC Delivers experience at your school.

Please submit this application to be considered for funding at least one month in advance of your desired experience. Response will come in email form. Applications may take up to two weeks to review.

Special Experiences, such as Haudenosaunee Days and Focus on Frogs Professional Development Package, already reduced with scholarship fees are not able to be further reduced.
